As I read other reviews prior to booking - about being pleasantly surprised...I was too, and very happy with this choice! This area in Arcata has so much to offer, its the best kept secret on the Northern Coast. We stayed for my daughters graduation from Cal Poly Humboldt - just can't compare staying at a hotel. The beds were extremally comfortable, house is just adorable with a blend of old and new. Sunny and private, Amy was the perfect host and the Sunny Cottage exceeded our expectations! I'll definitely be back and highly recommend to anyone visiting the area - you've got the beautiful rugged coast and Coastal Redwoods within a 10 -15 minute drive, hiking trails in the beautiful forests - can't get much better. Feels so magical! Not to mention the downtown area - so unique. Makes it hard to back to the Bay Area! Enjoy!!
